The signs included on this page are from the collection of Joe Ashley, Bozeman, Montana.  They represent a lot of dedicated searching over a number of years.  Most are original, as window signs are not subject to weather and vandalism, a few have been restored with considerable attention to "charging" them with the proper blend of neon to result in the original colors.  He is greatly thanked for sharing these images with us, and he would appreciate any leads someone might give him leading to an automotive window sign he does not yet have in his collection.
